Potsdam Route 56 Water Project

in progress

The project involves the establishment of water and sewer districts along Route 56 in the town of Potsdam. The project included infrastructure design and financing, with initial projections of 225 equivalent dwelling units (EDUs) which later decreased to 146.5 EDUs, affecting the cost per resident. The project faced legal challenges and a referendum in November 2025 where residents rejected moving forward with the water project. The sewer portion is likely to be called off, but residents remain responsible for design costs incurred, totaling just under $1 million with no grant money to offset it.
